Gorillas live in family groups called troops in the thick forests of central Africa. Contrary to their portrayal as aggressive, gorillas are actually gentle and peaceful. They spend their days foraging for food, building nests for sleeping, and caring for their young. While gorillas may appear fearsome due to their large size, they are predominantly herbivores and present no threat to humans unless threatened. Their habitat is shrinking due to human activities like deforestation, and gorilla populations are in decline. Conservation efforts aim to protect these gentle giants and secure their future.
